Batchelor Queries

This page updated: 8/18/2005

We want to find the missing pieces of our families.

Can you help with any of these?

I'm looking for the BEV ANDERSON (nee Batchelor) who posted a query about Alexander Batchelor. Please contact me ASAP. I tried to email you, guess you aren't with Sympatico anymore. I DO have info for you AND photos of the man in uniform in 1865 as well as many others. He was my great grandfather. I hope you read this! Maer Mackay

Looking for info about EARL BATCHELDER m. Ruth Knepper. He had a son, CURTIS EARL 3/10/1915-6/19/1943. Ruth then remarried Harvey Hugo Kubitz, who adopted Curtis. I would like to know about my Batchelder Family History, but all I have is one photo Earl and a copy of Curtis's birth certificate that says his father Earl Batchelder from VT.

Looking for info on EDWIN BATCHELOR (Irish ancestry) m. Mildred Viturale d. 1966 (Italian heritage). Edwin was a Chief Master Sgt in the Army, and possibly career Army, possibly retired in VA. If any of these people are connected with your Batchelor Lineage please contact me. Thanks. William W Batchelor

JAMES & WILLIAM BATCHELOR b. Kent in the second half of the 18th century. For much of his life, WILLIAM (c1787-1868) lived in Hornsey, Middlesex. He was Head Coachman to J G Booth of Crouch Hall, a large estate in the parish of Hornsey. He d. 11/3/1868 in Hornsey aged 82 and his gravestone can still be seen in Hornsey churchyard (though a devout Wesleyan Methodist). He and his wife Jane Uglow (c1782-1869) produced 7 children of whom 4 survived to adulthood. I am descended from his son Henry (1823-1903) who wrote his autobiography. That source and the 1861 census alike say that William was born in Kent but neither says which parish or village. Family legend alone gives William's father's name as JAMES and birthplace as "Kent". Henry's autobiography says that James was "a labouring man". Can anyone help me find James or William? David H L Batchelor

Looking for info on JOHN KEITH BATCHELOR b. c1915 poss Crossville, AL d. Feb 1959 Decatur, GA m.1. Gwendoline White m.2. Helen ??? He had a brother William and poss 6 sisters. My father didn't have much contact with this side of the family after he got older so we don't have much to start with. Any help would be appreciated. P B Jones

Does anyone know the c/o MARIAH BATCHELOR m. 2/10/1852 Fulton or Campbell Co, GA to James T Smith? The dates match closely to the time frame I believe she was born & married in. On John Henry
Allen Smith b. 1862 AL death cert. it lists his mother as Amanda
Batchelor but an aunt says it was Mariah. Could be both. Also my James Smith was suppose to be born in Scotland. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? I'm lost for any more places to
look. Linda
